Our Top Picks
The restaurants we recommend first. Every one personally vetted.
Mama Lou's Italian Kitchen
Mama Lou's Italian Kitchen serves authentic Italian comfort food in a warm, homely setting at Ayala Malls Vertis North. Famous for their signature Risotto Tartufo Funghi (wild mushroom risotto with truffle cream), the menu spans wood-fired pizzas, handmade pastas, antipasti, seafood, and hearty meat dishes. With generous portions at reasonable prices, fast service, and a cozy atmosphere, it's become one of Quezon City's go-to spots for Italian dining — and a favorite for families and weekend gatherings.
Gubat
Gubat (meaning "forest" in Tagalog) is a unique kamayan-style Filipino restaurant nestled inside the Diliman Bonsai Society garden near UP Diliman. All food is served on banana leaves and eaten with bare hands — no plates, no utensils. The lush, garden setting with recycled wooden interiors makes you feel like you've escaped to the province, even though you're in the middle of Quezon City. Popular dishes include lechon kawali, adobong baboy, halabos na hipon, and their fermented buro rice.
LOLA Cafe
Housed in a charming ancestral home with a black-and-white theme, lush greenery, and elegant design, LOLA Cafe is a Filipino-fusion restaurant that feels like dining in a beautifully restored heritage house. The menu blends classic Filipino flavors with Western and Italian influences — think truffle lengua, shrimp aligue pasta, and beef kare-kare alongside crispy tinapa salad and longganisa pasta. A popular choice for intimate dates, celebrations, and civil weddings in the Tomas Morato area.
Banapple
A beloved Filipino bakery café born from a home kitchen in Quezon City, Banapple is famous for its signature banoffee pie and apple caramel crumble pie — the very desserts that inspired its name. Beyond their renowned pies and cheesecakes, the Matalino branch serves hearty meals including hickory-smoked country ribs, chicken parmigiano, pasta, all-day breakfast, baked empanadas, and freshly brewed coffee in a cozy setting in the heart of the Maginhawa food scene.
The Frazzled Cook
The Frazzled Cook is a comfort food haven on Scout Gandia Street known for its eclectic, mismatched-furniture decor and a Hobbit-like arched blue doorway that sets the tone for a whimsical dining experience. The menu leans Western-Italian with Filipino soul — think slow-cooked pork BBQ ribs simmered for four hours, truffle pasta with portobello mushrooms, wagyu salpicao, and seafood paella. The dim lighting, quirky decor collected from around the world, and homey vibe make it feel like you're eating at a well-traveled friend's house.
